Mixed information on ATF in 2003 CV manual

I thought I had already seen all the "which ATF" questions but I have to bring this one up. I have a 2003 convertible i.e. the old body style.
In the Owner's manual, page 231, chapter for Technical data the table says oil type "Texaco Texamatic Dexron III, mineral oil based".
On page 179 in the chapter for Car care it says "If original fluid cannot be obtained for topping up, Dexron III (synthetic fluid) automatic transmission fluid can be used. If so, the car should be taken to an authorized Saab dealer immediately to have the reason for low fluid level corrected and original fluid installed" Then on the next page page it says "Top up, as necessary, with Texaco Texamatic Dexron III ..."
But then there is a separate "Saab 93 Convertible 2003 Quick Reference guide", which on the last page "Adding Fluids" says "Use Saab 3309 AT Fluid only."
I wonder if I am the only one confused here? If it needs to be Texaco Dexron III, is Havoline ATF the same stuff or where do you find Texaco ATF? And Mobil 1 synthetic ATF should not be used?
